Resolve error "AADSTS50012: Invalid client secret is provided" in MS Flow's HTTP connector

I need to use HTTP connector in Microsoft Flow work flow to get the access token from SharePoint Online.

I followed the article "Access SharePoint Online using Postman" to register the app and get the client id, client secret and tenant id. I composed the "body" section and added headers key to "HTTP" connector, and then submit the work flow by adding a new file to document library. However, it was failure with error "AADSTS50012: Invalid client secret is provided".

Finally, I found out the issue is related to the none encode string of client secret value, and so I use "Variable" connector to save the client secret and other values, and used function "encodeUriComponent(...)" to encode the client secret value. The issue was gone and the HTTP call was successful to get the access token. The configuration of HTTP connector is as below screen shot.







In this course you will learn how to create and manage Flow from desktop, laptop, or mobile devices and connect with multiple services such as SharePoint, Twitter, Facebook, and other networking sites.

    In simplest of terms, offshore hosting is a hosting which you get in the country or the continent which is far away from your own country.

SharePoint 2013 error - "Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc"

I had been received a error message " Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc, Error=Path '/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery' is forbidden " when try to add user account to a user group in SharePoint 2013 Portal . I searched the issue in google and found out it may related to security issue in local folder  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI" of " /_vti_bin/client.svc ". I verified the user permission on this folder and found out that "IUSR" for IIS is not there, and so I granted user account "IUSR" read and execute permission in this folder. I went back to try add user account in SharePoint again, and it worked successfully this time! This issue is related to error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again." which can be resolved using above configuration. In addition, if this error still occur, check the windows features in con

Enable the Microsoft Power BI report file type (.pbix) in SharePoint Search

Image
By default, the Microsoft Power BI report file (.pbix) is not in the list of file type in SharePoint 2013 search configuration in Central Admin, and so you wouldn't open the Power BI file directly by clicking the link from the search result page. However, it's easy to add this file type by following configuration. Open “Central Admin” site, and then go to "Manage service applications”->”Search Service Application XX” (use the actual name of the “Search Service Application” in your site). Click on the “File Type” in left side navigation. Click the New File Type button and type PBIX (no period needed) in the File extension box and click OK. Restart the Search Service: Go to local “services”, stop the SharePoint Server Search service and start it again. Reset Your Index: Back on the Search Administration page within Central Administration you will want to click on the Index Reset link under Crawling on the left side menu. Press the Reset Now button.
